Below are the most common questions travelers ask when booking this incredible journey.
How long do we spend traveling in the vehicle each day?

Packing Checklist: Lightweight, breathable clothing for the day, a warm jacket or fleece layers for the evening, a scarf to shield against wind-blown sand, comfortable walking shoes, sunglasses, and high-SPF sunscreen.
Are the desert camps private, and do they have bathrooms?
